I have no idea if these are any good. I noticed them yesterday, but I have way too many cards. Somebody might want to give them a try - at $8.49 per setup shipped (with Prime) there's not much to lose.

Edit - I deleted "by Davinci" from the title, because I misread the Amazon ad - these aren't from Davinci; they're apparently Royals.

Together with Da Vinci Route and Modiano Old Trophy, these are the best playing cards on the market. Absolutely perfect double deck! If you want the best deck on the market with no drawback at all, stop wasting your time and money on other products like KEM, COPAG etc. These cards are:

- Solid. Whatever you do with them, they keep straight - unlike KEM's, which warp like crazy and cannot be fixed.

- Perfectly flexible. Their elasticity is perfeclty balanced - the cards are not hard at all, but perfectly fast at flexing back to their straight position. Great for riffle-shuffle bridge, which is very lazy and sluggish with KEM's.

- Odorless. Unlike KEM's, which stink like a chemical factory, these cards have no odor at all.

- Water resistant. Unlike KEM's, which warp irreversibly once in touch with water, these cards are just like new after washing.

- With excellent friction factor. The friction between cards is perfectly adjusted and balanced: these cards fan beatifully and spread perfectly even. This is a great advantage contrary to my second favorite deck Bicycle Prestige, the cards of which are also great but feel too slippery and dry.

- Pleasant to touch. Although these cards, naturally, don't feel like paper, they are very, very pleasant to touch. The feel is certainly "not so plastic" as that of, for instance, Piatnik 100% plastic or Bicycle Prestige.

- Beautiful. Although the design is that of the classical index, the colors are very pleasant and bright. The ace of spades and the jokers are just beautiful.

- With two colors of Jokers. Each deck contains one black joker and one red joker. Great for various game modifications.

- With lifetime warranty.

As I have already written, these cards are absolutely perfect. I really regret having wasted my time and money on other decks. If I had to chose one deck for the rest of my life, it'd be this Da Vinci Classico.
 
Those aren't Davinci. From the description

"Ritz brand of 100% Plastic Playing Cards are manufactured with exceptional quality material and attention to detail by the manufacturer of Royal Playing Cards in Taiwan. "

Royal? Think I'll pass.

Hmm
 
Yeah, unfortunately the picture in the ad shows a deck of Royal cards (that is their AOS design). Royal's are very cheap, so thin you can see through them, not worth $2 a setup IMO. I would proceed with caution if buying these.
 
I only posted this because it specifically says "by davinci"
I've never tried Royals, but I've heard enough bad stuff about them.
 
To clarify - these are not listed as being "by Da Vinci," the card manufacturer.

They are being sold through Amazon by a third-party seller named "Da Vinci."

They also sell actual Da Vinci cards:

It appears that reviewer meant to put that review on this item:

(See the last line of his review.)

He also posted the same review on other decks mentioned in his review:

No idea how good/bad these particular cards may be, but every Royal deck I've ever seen sucked ass.

Might be worth a $9 gamble; might not. I have no need....
 
The Marion Pro cards from the same manufacturer aren't bad, and feel nothing like Royal, but they aren't my favourites, either. I'll still pass.
